About this listen

In this book, Mustafa Akyol, senior fellow at the Cato Institute and opinion writer for The New York Times, both diagnoses “the crisis of Islam” in the modern world and offers a way forward. Diving deep into Islamic theology, and also sharing lessons from his own life story, he reveals how Muslims lost the universalism that made them a great civilization in their earlier centuries. He especially demonstrates how values often associated with Western Enlightenment - freedom, reason, tolerance, and an appreciation of science - had Islamic counterparts, which sadly were cast aside in favor of more dogmatic views, often for political ends.

Elucidating complex ideas with engaging prose and storytelling, Reopening Muslim Minds borrows lost visions from medieval Muslim thinkers, such as Ibn Rushd (aka Averroes), to offer a new Muslim worldview on a range of sensitive issues, including human rights, equality for women, and freedom of religion, or freedom from religion. While frankly acknowledging the problems in the world of Islam today, Akyol offers a clear and hopeful vision for its future.

Reflections on Faith and Modernity: A Deeply Thought-Provoking Read

This is hands down one of my favorite reads of the year. It’s a brilliant and uplifting exploration of how the norms we’ve grown up with shape our understanding of religion, particularly as Muslims in today’s world. The author masterfully encourages readers to think deeply about their beliefs, while offering fresh perspectives on faith in modern times. It’s the kind of book that makes you reflect long after you’ve turned the last page—definitely one for those craving more philosophical insights.
